Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Ye Qingzhi first took the handkerchief handed over by Ruyi and wiped her mouth, then took the water bag from the prince, nodded painfully, and said weakly,

"Well, I ate too many snacks in town just now. Maybe the food was not clean. Now my stomach hurts so much. I feel uncomfortable."

The prince supported her and let her lean on him. Although he felt sorry for her, he still scolded her.

"What did I tell you just now? I told you to eat less, but you said it was hard to get food, so you kept eating..."

"Oh, oh, oh, Your Highness, my stomach hurts... It hurts so much."

Ye Qingzhi covered her stomach with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand to prevent him from nagging her.

Prince,...

Look, look, what does it mean to be spoiled?

The prince gave her a speechless and distressed look. He wanted to love her, but also wanted to punish her.

"Aunt, are you okay?" Xie Niankang got off the carriage at the back and ran over to show his concern for her.

Mingyu, Mingyan, Xie Hongbao and others also got off the carriage, and quickly surrounded Ye Qingzhi and the prince, asking about her situation with concern.

Ye Qingzhi,...

Although it was very heartwarming, she felt a little embarrassed because she got an upset stomach due to overeating.

Especially when she was surrounded by a group of children who were so concerned about her... It was embarrassing. She felt that her majestic image as Master Ye was gone.

Along the way, she told them all kinds of passionate fantasy martial arts stories, telling them what it means to be a grassroots counterattack, and what it means for a proud child of heaven to be slapped in the face and then climb to the top.

What it means not to be afraid of hardship, not to be afraid of fatigue, not to be afraid of bloodshed, not to be afraid of challenges, and what it means is that a man should be self-reliant.

After listening to her story, all the little kids looked at her with starry eyes and admiration, calling her "Master Ye" one after another in a way that was so sweet.

As for those stories about cultivating immortals, forget it. She was just afraid that if she really told them, someone would actually believe them.

Then they start practicing and pursuing immortality, which will not only lead their children astray but also destroy the country.

Because of her stories, Ye Qingzhi successfully established her own authority. Normally, she would put on a stern face and ask them to do their homework, and they would all behave well.

Only after finishing your homework can you listen to the exciting stories about leveling up and fighting monsters.

As a tutor, when you see children eating carelessly, you have to supervise them and tell them to eat less, be moderate, and be careful of stomachaches.

But now it was she who had the stomachache, not the children, so Ye Qingzhi felt pain in her face and felt ashamed.

She felt even more embarrassed when the children showed concern for her.

Ye Qingzhi even began to feel lucky that she was just vomiting and not having diarrhea, otherwise... she felt like she would have to give up her face.

Ouch, I can't think about this. As soon as I think about it, my stomach starts to growl.

"Master Ye is fine. Everyone go away and do your own things. Don't gather here. When the imperial physician comes later, he won't be able to treat Master Ye."

The prince waved his hand and spoke to the children.

The children nodded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, they looked at Ye Qingzhi again.

"Ahem, I set a wrong example this time. I became the negative example I often mentioned before. You should learn from it and don't be greedy. It will really make you upset!"

Ye Qingzhi coughed lightly, tried to stand up straight, put on a serious look, and did some simple reflection and exhortation.

The children agreed to Ye Qingzhi's words and then dispersed.

The prince looked at Ye Qingzhi with a smile in his eyes. She had established her authority as Tutor Ye very well and had won over these children.

Seeing that Xie Niankang was about to leave, Ye Qingzhi grabbed him and whispered to him with an unpleasant expression,

"Xiaokang, give auntie some blessings. Wish me that I won't have diarrhea and will get better soon."

She has accumulated so much merit, it would be a waste if she doesn't use it.

If she really had diarrhea in the middle of nowhere and everyone knew about it, she would be socially dead!

Xie Niankang,

This is what it feels like to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

Although Xie Niankang complained, he still held Ye Qingzhi's hand and gave his sincere blessing.

"Auntie, don't worry, you will be well again soon. Luckily, you just vomited and didn't have diarrhea."

Hearing this, Ye Qingzhi nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Doctor Wang hurried over with the medicine box, panting and said,

"Ye, Concubine Ye, please take a seat and extend your hand. I will examine you."

There was already a chair placed nearby by the servants, so Ye Qingzhi sat down and stretched out her right hand.

Doctor Wang took the patient's pulse and his face was solemn for a long time before he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Your Highness, I'm telling you, Concubine Ye, I did have an upset stomach."

Ye Qingzhi,...

Or else?

Doctor Wang, what do you mean by "indeed"? Are you still suspecting that she is pregnant?

The prince nodded and responded calmly, and ordered Ye Qingzhi to stop eating anything from outside.

Ye Qingzhi nodded listlessly, "As you wish."

The imperial physician prescribed medicine for Ye Qingzhi, pills for stopping diarrhea and vomiting. As it was inconvenient to travel and difficult to boil Chinese medicine, the imperial physicians would always prepare these commonly used pills.

In fact, after such a short while, before even taking the pill, Ye Qingzhi felt that her rumbling stomach had calmed down and the pain was gone.

This made her eyes light up and she gave Xie Niankang a thumbs up.

Wow, this is the first time I experienced this magical power. It’s so interesting and useful.

I want to use it next time!

The prince who witnessed the whole process,...

His Qingqing is a perfect example of what it means to be rich and willful!

He didn't expect that someone would use Xiaokang's blessing power to cure his stomachache...

-

Because Ye Qingzhi quickly solved her stomach upset problem, the prince ordered his men to continue on their journey.

Then, at the city gate, they met Prince An, Zheng Qingyan, who came to greet them with the palace guards.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" When Prince An saw the crown prince's carriage, he dismounted, walked forward, and paid his respects to the crown prince on horseback.

In fact, the last time Prince An met Xie Jin, he was still a marquis!

He was also invited by his uncle Prince Su to visit Xie Jin's hot spring resort, where he had a lot of fun.

After that, he came back here and we never met again.

Unexpectedly, it was soon revealed that Xie Jin was actually of royal blood and was named Prince Jing by his uncle, the Emperor.

This was enough to surprise the whole family.

No one would have expected that in less than a year, Prince Jing would overthrow the former crown prince and become the crown prince himself!

When Prince An received the news, he was surprised, shocked and puzzled.

Although he had a bad impression of his eldest cousin, the former crown prince, no, now his second cousin, he still couldn't help but sigh and even feel a little sympathy.

If he was the former crown prince, he would have been overthrown by the prince who suddenly showed up, and it would have taken less than a year for him to die of anger by vomiting blood.

The former prince is really stupid and not smart!

However, no matter what, during the great war between Chu and Zhao, Prince Xie Jin dared to lead the army in person and come to Funing with his troops, so he still recognized him.

Not every prince would have such courage.

Therefore, although Prince An lamented that things had changed and people had changed, he did not have any resentment or resistance towards Xie Jin.

"Quickly, no need to be polite." Xie Jin also got off his horse, bent down and helped Prince An up, smiled and patted his shoulder and said,

"You are much stronger than before. Father misses you and the aunt very much. He can't help crying when he mentions you.

When this war is over, you must come with me to the capital and live there for a while."

Upon hearing this, Prince An felt a little jealous. His uncle the Emperor was really good to him.

Although they did not meet often, he could feel the concern of his uncle the Emperor during his few visits to the capital.

"Okay, when the war is over, I will go to the capital to pay my respects to the Emperor and Uncle, and send my regards to him on behalf of my mother."

Prince An responded immediately and bowed his head towards the direction of the imperial city.

After exchanging greetings, the two mounted their horses again and set off again. They entered the city, and after another quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Princess's Mansion.

When she first got married, although the eldest princess had her own princess palace, she stayed in the British palace because she respected her father-in-law.

However, ten years ago, the eldest princess moved from the British royal palace to her own princess palace to live permanently.

At that time, the old King of England, Zheng Shaoyuan, had been dead for three years. The eldest princess' husband immediately married a new woman, and the eldest princess moved out.

After moving out, the eldest princess would go back there only to reunite with her family during the holidays.

Although the relationship between the couple is average, it does not mean that the eldest princess has lost control of the British palace.

Because the King of England is not really stupid. Although he likes to be gentle and caring and coax his women, he dare not do things like favoring a concubine and neglecting his wife.

Moreover, the person in charge of the British palace is the eldest princess's eldest daughter-in-law. Whenever there is something, they have to come to her for instructions.

There are a large population at the British palace, and the eldest princess really doesn't want to see so many people, so she lives here for some peace and quiet.

Prince An is the youngest son. He is sweet-talking and clingy, and is favored by the eldest princess. He lives in the eldest princess's mansion with his newly married wife.

When they arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, the prince dismounted, followed by Ye Qingzhi, Mingyu, Mingyan and others.

Prince An paid his respects to Ye Qingzhi again. He was also impressed by her as a concubine. He remembered that three years ago, she was just a favorite concubine. However, she was humorous and interesting in her conversation.

"Prince An, please call me Master Ye." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile.

Prince An was surprised for a moment, then he remembered that it seemed to be true.

It is outrageous that a favored concubine was actually named Ye Taifu by her uncle, the emperor.

In the past two or three years, things happening in the imperial city have become more and more outrageous.

He often didn't understand, but every time his mother heard the news, she was very relieved and kept saying that she wanted to go back to Beijing and stay for a while after she got better.

She was afraid that if she didn't go to the capital in the next two years, she would never have the chance to go back.

After being surprised, Prince An smiled and called "Master Ye" obediently. Then he met a few more children.

He had met all of them except Mingyu, Mingyan, Xie Niankang, Xie Hongbao, the fifteenth prince, and the sixteenth prince.

However, he didn’t understand why the prince came with so many royal children.

"I brought them here to see the Imperial Aunt and show my filial piety to her. I also wanted to see the world and the cruelty of war so that they would not be narrow-minded."

The prince smiled and explained to Prince An,

"Only by actually going to the battlefield and seeing the blood can they understand how much Gaozu and the old King Ying paid to conquer the world. It is also because of their sacrifice that we have the peace and stability we have today."

"Well said! Well said!"

At this time, a voice came from inside the door. Everyone turned around to see that it was the honorable Princess.
